Disappointing. Hopefully ESPN money whips the league into a 9 game schedule.
One silver lining is that Jimbo doesn't get Texas as its annual game like he was shamelessly lobbying for. Seems like he should have known that if there was only one annual game, that TX would be paired wit 0u.

Agree. When Jimbo speaks he reminds me of Lloyd Christmas, "Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?"

I see Brett McMurphy’s bowl projections and he has Texas in the Alamo Bowl. Texas fans are upset. Sadly, that projection is right until proven differently. There’s a lot of questions marks about this team. We are 7-8 win team until proven otherwise.

Alabama will tell a lot.
LOL, I'm not sure which is sillier, June Bowl projections , or any fans taking them seriously enough to get upset.
Apparently this is just a short term solution with a bunch of schools not wanting to cancel non-conference games. Lots of talk of going to a 9 game schedule in the next couple of years.
Hopefully.
You would think the added revenue and excitement from the 9 game schedule would have been eneugh for the schools to make it happen in 2024.
It's hard to know exactly how the decision was made. It seemed like there were lots of stuff being said by Sankey over the last year hinting at a 9 game schedule. Maybe it's as you say a short term scheduling issue, maybe it's about trying to negotiate more money from ESPN, maybe it's over concerns of some schools rivals are too hard(cough cough Alabama),maybe it's about getting more teams into bowl games, or the play offs. Without any transparency it's hard to know if/when they will move to a 9 games schedule, I guess only time will tell.

Last 6 years
Ohio State - 67 wins for 11 wins per season.
Texas - 45 wins for 7.5 wins per season.
@Austin Horn appears to be spot on with regards to Texas.
I only went back 6 years because, if you go back 13 years, it gets worse for Texas ?

I'm going to disagree. Past seasons have no bearing whatsoever on what happens this year. You can pretend we have the same kind of roster and the same kind of problems, but you're just pretending.
Things have changed. But it makes no difference to me if any of you want to expect what you've seen for the past six years – this year – simply because it is what happened in the past.
We have news stories, threads, etc., talking about the most talented roster in the Big 12. Well, either that makes a difference or some are right about Texas being cursed.
I don't believe in curses though.

One thing I read yesterday had Texas-Texas A$M as the annual conference matchup for both teams.
That was upsetting as I don't care about beating aggy near as much as I care about beating OU.
